[QUOTE="user 1447, post: 923736, member: 1447"] IMHO its just about as dangerous as doing it with anything else i had about six N40L microservers for sale recently and one of the guys who took one of those including a brand spanking new graphics card connected it to his TV and basically his son just disconnected the HDMI with everything switched on and that brand spanking new graphics card landed up being toasty scrap metal (heatsink got blackened) and circuit board he had to go and buy a brand new card to replace one that was one month old ..... thankfully nothing happened to anything else but if this happens on the laptop because of the built in nature of the graphics on those it makes the entire laptop useless unless you can get the complete motherboard or CPU replaced (newer models will have the graphics on the CPU) so i wouldn't hot swap those HDMI cables in a hurry anyway with whatever they are connected to [/QUOTE]
